      Save for a very brief period of time, I was always anti-Israel, but I simply was unaware of just HOW fucked up Israel was due to a variety of factors.

        Israel and its supporters did a GREAT job of linking anti-israel sentiment to antisemitism. That alone made reporting of its messed up actions and history taboo. Certainly does not help that neonazis are also frequently anti-israel.

        But… Shit… I mean Israel was founded on white jewish supremacy. Real hard to have a state founded on racial supremacy not turn into a fucking nightmare.

        I have been anti Israel ever since I heard about the “settlers”. That’s so fucked up Even before the war. Such arrogance and entitlement to assume you can just take things like that and that a god would support you lol.

        Israel is an occupying/besieging force and Hamas’ attack against them was justified morally, ethically, and under international law. Israel’s retaliation against the entire population of Gaza is completely unjustified, and completely illegal.

            Those are the rules when you’re occupied by a foreign military. Imagine if Russia had control over all of Ukraine - people in occupied Kyiv would be justified in attacking Russia, but Russia would not be justified in retaliating against the Ukrainians.

            If Israel wants to make it so that the Palestinians don’t have every right to retaliate against them, they would have to end the occupation, the blockade, the settlements, etc.
